Hotel Lobby AI Prompt: Copy It, or Skip It With Photos
A Hotel Lobby AI prompt has to pin down four things: a plain orange booth, one mic hanging between two people, which photo stands on which side, and who raps while the other hypes. Leave one out and a model may add a halo, swap the two sides or invent a third person.
The prompt below is the one RapVideo sends to Seedance for a two-person AI rap, printed from the same code the server runs. On RapVideo you never type it: you add two photos and the booth is built in.

Copy this Hotel Lobby AI prompt
This version is for a vertical 12-second Hotel Lobby video in which both people rap about the topic. It goes out with three attachments: reference image 1 (left photo), reference image 2 (right photo) and reference video 1, a silent re-shot reference clip of the booth that sets the moves and the camera.
Use reference video 1 for the whole performance: copy its framing, timing and every movement, gesture, head turn, facial expression and mouth movement, the plain orange background and the single silver microphone hanging between the performers. Keep the camera framing of reference video 1: no zoom in, no zoom out, no pan. Do not add any movement or scene element that is not in reference video 1.
Performer on the left: the person in reference image 1. Performer on the right: the person in reference image 2. They replace the two people in reference video 1 completely: face, hair, body and clothes come from the photos, nothing from the people in reference video 1. Ignore the photo backgrounds.
Soundtrack: an original hip-hop song made for this video, a punchy trap beat with deep bass and crisp hi-hats. The two performers trade bars about: "Lena and Tom, ten years of Sunday pancakes". The left performer raps the first lines into the hanging microphone, the right performer answers with the next lines, and they go back and forth, each with a clearly different voice. Rap in the language of that topic. Clean lyrics, lips in sync with every word; whoever is not rapping reacts, nods and gestures on the beat. Do not use any existing song, existing lyrics or the voice of any real artist.
9:16. The orange fills the whole frame edge to edge, with no black or dark areas. No split screen, no extra people, no captions or text on screen. Faces stay consistent from start to end.No reference clip in your AI video tool? Swap the first paragraph for this one, which writes the booth out. It reuses the wording RapVideo sends for its prompt-only stages; we have not tested it for the booth.
A two-person hip-hop performance filmed in the Hotel Lobby booth: a plain, evenly lit orange studio wall behind the performers (one flat color, no halo or light effects) and a single silver condenser microphone hanging from the ceiling between them, 9:16. Medium shot at chest height with a slow push-in, opening to a wider waist-up shot halfway through.The default video uses a different prompt. On Wan 3.0, RapVideo first redraws each photo as a full-length studio portrait, then writes the prompt in Chinese and attaches the Hotel Lobby track as audio: copy the clip’s framing and moves, put the two people from the photos in, keep the track as the whole soundtrack, the left person raps its vocal in sync and the right one hypes.

Line by line: why each instruction is there
| Line | What it prevents |
|---|---|
| Copy the framing, timing and every move; no zoom in, no zoom out, no pan | The camera drifting out of the orange set into a dark studio |
| The plain orange background and one silver mic hanging between them | A mic on a stand, two mics, or a different set |
| Performer on the left / right, from reference image 1 / 2 | The two people trading places or merging |
| Face, hair, body and clothes come from the photos; ignore the photo backgrounds | Clothes from the clip and pieces of your photo backgrounds leaking in |
| Original song, no existing lyrics or real artist voice | A copy of a real recording |
| Orange fills the frame; no split screen, no extra people, no captions | Black edges, panels, a third face and burned-in text |
Adapting the prompt to another AI video model
- Use an AI video model that takes two reference images. Seedance 2.x and Wan 3.0 also take a reference clip, which keeps the moves closest to the trend.
- Rename the attachments the way your tool expects. RapVideo writes "reference image 1" for Seedance and 图1 (image 1) in its Chinese Wan 3.0 prompt; other tools use their own tags. Keep the left photo first.
- Change the shape at the end of the first paragraph (9:16, 16:9 or 1:1) to the format you pick.
- Swap the topic for your own, up to 120 characters. Left empty, RapVideo raps about "the two of us, the best duo on this stage".
- For the original track instead of an AI rap, attach the audio and ask the left performer to lip-sync it. Only use a recording you have the right to use.
Hotel Lobby prompts published elsewhere
Dreamina's Hotel Lobby AI filter page publishes three copy-and-paste prompts for Seedance 2.5 (friends, pets and adult siblings), each about 75 words. They fix one subject per side, a hanging mic, a locked full-body camera and a list of things to avoid, but none asks for a song or lip-sync, and one sets the duet in a terracotta studio. A prompt-only site we checked describes a marble lobby with chandeliers, which is not the trend at all, and renders no AI video.
On RapVideo the prompt, the re-shot clip and the sound are already set for every Hotel Lobby video: the Hotel Lobby AI booth takes two photos, an AI rap generator writes the verse, and Migos AI is the same trend under its other name.
When the render drifts: symptoms and prompt fixes
| Symptom | Fix in the prompt or the photo |
|---|---|
| A face drifts toward someone else | Front-facing, well-lit photos, waist up; keep "face, hairstyle and outfit" |
| The two swap sides | Name the left and right performer with their image number |
| A third person appears | Keep "no extra people" and "ignore the photo backgrounds" |
| Text shows up on screen | Keep "no captions or text on screen" |
| Lips miss the words | Attach audio that starts on a word, or let the model write the rap |

FAQ
Will this prompt work in Dreamina or Kling?
We have only run it through RapVideo. In another tool, rename the attachments to its syntax and expect to retry; a tool without a reference clip will invent its own moves.
Does the prompt use the original Hotel Lobby song?
Not the AI rap version: it asks for an original song and rules out existing lyrics. The default RapVideo video on Wan 3.0 attaches the Hotel Lobby track as audio instead.
Why "reference image 1" and not a tag like @Image1?
Our Seedance requests name attachments in words, which reads the same whatever tag syntax a model expects. Wan 3.0 requests are written in Chinese and name them 图1, 视频1 and 音频1.
Does RapVideo ask for a prompt before it makes a Hotel Lobby video?
No. You add two photos and press Create video; the prompt is built for you. A 12-second 480p video is 6 credits.
